Abstract	When the nation shut down in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, states had to figure out what education would look like for the remainder of the academic year. These abrupt changes affected not only students' ability to learn but also their access to the support system that would help prepare them for steps beyond high school. This Policy Brief is part of a series dedicated to various facets of the transition from secondary to postsecondary education, now complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This brief explores challenges that students are facing and actions that states, and sometimes school districts, can take to support students in their postsecondary transition during these far-from-normal times. Those actions include: (1) addressing systemic barriers to college access exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) adapting data driven decision-making to the virtual environment; and (3) leveraging federal funds to support postsecondary transition. The series -- which builds upon "A State Policymaker's Guide to Equitable Transitions in the COVID-19 Era" (ED606369) -- provides actionable steps and examples for state policymakers to consider as they address the transition from high school to college and the workforce.
